Does the Honda CX500 fit you?
The Honda CX500 (1978–1983) has a 800 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 80 cm — roughly 170 cm (5'7") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 74 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Honda CX500.
Riding position
As a standard motorcycle, the Honda CX500 puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Honda CX500 best for?
The Honda CX500 is best suited to comfortable, do-it-all road riding with a neutral, upright posture.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
